Freeport Fire Council
At the meeting of the Council Wed¬ nesday evening, it was decided, at the recpiest of the chairman of the General Committee on the Carnival and Tourna¬ ment, to hold a department parade on Monday evening, October 3, the open- ' ing night of the carnival, with a short line of march, the parade to finish at the Carnival grounds.
Chief Van Riper reported' that work would be commenced at once toward lowering and cementing the floor in the house of Hose Co. No. 1 on Bedell street; also a small addition on house of Engine Co. No. 1.
Representatives from Hose Co. No. 2 reported that Rev. Charles Herbert Scholey had become an honorary mem¬ ber of that company and requested that he be designated as department chap¬ lain. It was unanimously decided to allow the request.
As the arch belonging to the Nassau County Firemen's Association is to be used at the grand stand, Chief Van Riper and Treasurer Cozzens were in¬ structed to furnish a bond in the sum of $400 for return of same.
It was decided that inasmuch as the Engine House had been used as head¬ quarters at no e.vpense to the Council, the Council ha've same decorated for Carnival week.
Hospital Sunday
The executive committee of the Nas¬ sau Hospital Association has designat¬ ed Sunday, Sept. 25th, as Ho»p;tal Sunday, when the annual collections for the benefit of Nassau Hospital are to be taken in the several churches of Nassau County.
Your congregation is cordially invit¬ ed to join in this matter, and make a contribution to the funds of this insti¬ tution. All donations should be aent! to Mr. Thomas W. Albertaon, Mineola, K. Y., the Treasurer of the Associa-1 tion. '
